Touching Video Reveals What Your Dog Does When You Leave the House

See the definitive answer to the age-old question.

For centuries, dog owners have pondered the same unanswerable question: Just what is it that my trusty canine does when I'm not at home? Based on the way your loyal pup desperately follows you to the door (and is eagerly sitting by it when you walk in), it seems like every minute is spent awaiting your return. But that can't just be it. Surely he must spend at least some of that time hunting down a nice pair of shoes to chew on and sampling the water from every cup we've accidentally left out? At the very least he must make himself comfy in the normally off-limits bed, right?

To finally answer this burning question, one man attached a GoPro video camera to his beloved pet, and left the house. The results are quite moving and, at the same time, exactly what we always figured — and possibly dreaded. Poor guy.
